From what I understand it uses TI's graphics co-processor (TI34010 or something like that). These co-processor chips increase the boards throughput, sort of like a math co-processor on a PC. You can put up to 3MB of memory on the board, which will give you true color. Should be pretty impressive if a driver for windows is avaiable. The Hurcules board appears to be the cheapest on the mark. -- Michael R.
